CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Tools that are no longer usable should not be disposed of with 

household waste but in an environmentally friendly way. Please 

recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council 

authority for recycling advice.

Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw 

materials. Reuse of recycled material decreases pollution in the 

environment. Please recycle packaging where facilities exist. 

Check with your local council authority for recycling advice.

Cleaning

•    We recommend that you clean the device each time that you have 

finished using it, with a moist cloth and some soft soap . Do not use 

cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of 

the line trimmer. Ensure that no water seeps into the device. Keep all 

safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as 

far as possible.

Storage (long term)

In order to avoid deposits forming on the interior of the carburettor, follow 

these instructions:
1.  Carry out all of the maintenance work and drain the fuel out of the tank.
2.   When the fuel has been drained, start the engine and allow it to run at 

idling speed until it stops. This will clean the remainder of the fuel out 

of the carburettor.

3.  Leave the machine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4.  Remove the spark plug.
5.   Place a teaspoon full of 2-stroke engine oil into the combustion 

chamber. Pull the recoil starter several times carefully to wet the 

internal components with the oil. Fit the spark plug again.

6.   Store the machine in a cold, dry place where it is out of the reach of 

ignition sources and inflammable substances.
